If you have been a fan of Lingerie Briefs for some time, you are likely familiar with Ellen’s appreciation for hand-painted silks, and how art is interpreted into fashion. Knowing that makes this feature on British loungewear & beachwear label Rose Fulbrightthat much more meaningful.

Hand-painted prints are at the core of every collection, with a distinct inspiration for each season’s patterns. Launched in 2013 as a lingerie label, the designer found her niche in 2015 with the launch of her Tropical collection that used paintings by Rose Fulbright’sgrandmother. Since then we have seen seasonal collections that range from bright and summery to dramatic and seductive. Right now, considering we are in the midst of swimwear season, I just wanted … Read more

If you were a super fan of the show Sex & the City like I was, then you may be familiar with the following Carrie Bradshaw quote from the series finale: “I’m someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other-love”. How does that apply to this blog post? Just replace the word love with lingerie. It pretty much describes the type of work you will see from the soon-to-be-launched brand Lily Rouse, London. It may not be your basic underwear that goes with every outfit, but it’s incredibly special and completely essential to any fashion-lover.

Currently Lily Rouseis a concept collection by designer Georgina Lily Rouse, who is an honors fashion contour student at the … Read more

iolé is a new luxury lingerie label from Melbourne, Australia that specializes in creating pieces that are ethically-conscious and environmentally-friendly. It’s a brand that you might say specializes in “slow fashion”, which means its designs are not dictated by trends but rather by classic looks that will never go out of style. Every piece created byiolé is handmade on the day it’s ordered, which means there is as little waste as possible that goes into the manufacturing process. This also means there are limited quantities made for each collection, which adds an element of exclusivity to their designs. In fact, this lingerie brand often will use lace that is so exclusive, that only a small number of each garment can be … Read more

Putting together this post involved quite a few “I want that…I need that…how do I not have that?!” moments. I had the pleasure of recently discovering the Barcelona-based brand La Costa del Algodón, which specializes in loungewear with a vintage-inspired twist.

Flowing fabrics with floral patterns defines this label that creates kaftans, robes and nightgowns that transition beautifully from inside the bedroom to out and about. The lines between sleepwear and ready-to-wear are heavily blurred, as the founders Chipi Tornos and Isabel Pedemonte explain that “each woman decides when and where to wear our creations.” The styles are bohemian, a bit beachy and entirely romantic. You can see the heavy vintage influence in the designs, which results in a collection that … Read more

Today’s Gallery features Botica Lingerie, where “nude is the color of the soul”. Once you see their work, you will understand precisely what this means and how closely the brand abides by this credo. You will also immediately see that this label represents erotica, the avant-garde and female sensuality.

This luxury label celebrates the ritual of wearing lingerie as “one of the most intimate and erotic delights of a woman”. That is certainly the case when wearing sheer, second-skin intimates made from silk tulle.

This Madrid-based label is handmade by women and for women, and is designed by Mexican fashion designer Andrea Pimentel.

The collection featured here is called Powder and is inspired by the delights of the human touch, imagining … Read more

What started as writing a blog post turned into putting together a wish list of lingerie and loungewear that I can’t live without. This collection of covet-worthy items on my radar is from NYC-based designer Morgan Lane.

This youthful (i.e. 20-30 something year old) brand is packed with personality, and offers a cheeky take on what’s meant to be “your special secret underneath it all”. But don’t mistake that playfulness for a lack of sophistication, because each piece is made with impeccable attention to detail using luxurious fabrics and overseen by a designer who has made Forbes’ prestigious “30 Under 30” list.

The brand’s founder Morgan Curtis earned her stripes working for her mother (renowned fashion designer) Jill Stuart, and … Read more
